Neville Longbottom
Your match is the sweet, shy guy who may not be the Quidditch star or the company president, but loves you completely. Snuggles by the fire and a secure home life make you feel completely cherished.

Who is your Harry Potter love match? (for girls)

I can't say that I'm surprised. I came home from the movie Saturday night, and told Karl that apparently I'm one of the only people on my flist NOT going to the Special Hell for the scene in the prefects bathroom, and in fact none of the guys in the movie did anything much for me. But Neville got to grow a bit, and is a nice guy and likes dancing - I told Karl if I'd been a student there, he'd be the one Gryffindor I'd be willing to date.

I love the way they're handling Neville in the series. He's shown the most maturity and growth of any of them, starting from the first book and movie where he stood up against his friends, to the way he's starting to blossom in the GoF movie, which is a bit sooner than he's doing it in the books.

As a teen, I wouldn't have been able to appreciate him, but as an adult I do.

I don't find Harry/Dan Radcliffe especially attractive. Ron/Rupert Whoever - in a few years, yes. (I didn't find Elijah Wood as Frodo in LotR attractive, either, but there are plenty of fangirls who do. I just don't get it. Sam, dude! Sam all the way!)

I'm all about Neville, esp once I knew he could dance! But you're right, I probably wouldn't have appreciated him at that age either.

I'm still a candidate for the Special Hell, though--that scene where he takes his shirt off in the bath is just...aesthetically appealing. :)

Oh, I'd have appreciated him during my teen years. The sweet shy nice-guy types are what I always dated. And yeah, some of the best dancers were some of the socially most hopeless ones. (remembering a school dance where I ended up having a marvelous polka - I kid you not - to "Break My Stride". We had fun.)

I found the prefects TUB (pool?) extremely aesthically appealing - although gah, the crappy school toilets in stalls with apparently no doors SO did not belong in the same room.

The men didn't do much for me though.
